Paris / Singapore, November 26 2025 -- Quobly, the French pioneer in quantum microelectronics, and Singapore’s National Quantum Federated Foundry (NQFF), one of the National-level Quantum Programmes (NQPs) led by the National Quantum Office (NQO), today announced a Research Collaboration Agreement (RCA) to develop a joint silicon spin qubit characterization platform in Singapore. This partnership reinforces Quobly’s commitment to advancing quantum technologies and fostering innovation within Singapore’s growing quantum ecosystem.

The RCA was formalized during the second French-Singapore Quantum Symposium (FSQS 2025) in Paris, building on initial engagements initiated at FSQS 2024.The two-day symposium was jointly organized by Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO), France’s Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and Quantonation.

The RCA follows Quobly’s recent incorporation in Singapore, which underscores its long-term vision to contribute to the region’s leadership and ambition in quantum technology.

Advancing quantum hardware through joint characterization

Through this partnership, Quobly and NQFF will jointly test and refine advanced quantum chips designed to improve scalability and efficiency. These efforts aim to accelerate the development of next-generation industrial-scale quantum devices, bridging fundamental science with applied R&D and industry applications. NQFF will measure and test Quobly’s 300 mm FD-SOI qubit chips, in parallel with benchmarking measurements at Quobly’s Grenoble facility.

This joint platform will act as a “measurement twin”, enabling cross-benchmarking between Singapore and Europe and providing independent validation of device performance, a key requirement for manufacturable quantum hardware.

Bridging science and industry for scalable quantum computing with real-life applications

With Singapore emerging as a key hub for quantum innovation in Asia, this partnership with NQFF strengthens Quobly’s ability to build ties with local research institutions, universities and industry players, supporting the nation’s vision to lead in scalable quantum technology, adoption and commercialization.

This collaboration will enable knowledge exchange, technology translation, and joint projects that benefit both the scientific community and businesses seeking quantum solutions, particularly in industries spearheaded by Singapore-based companies including pharmaceutical research, financial modelling, shipping optimization and artificial intelligence.

Quantum computing is expected to support applications such as logistics and routing optimization, large-scale financial simulations, and energy efficiency modelling – domains where Singapore’s global industries are already active.

Quobly’s approach to developing qubit on existing silicon technology is emerging as one of the most promising approaches for scalable quantum computing, with a clear roadmap to market-ready solutions.

This agreement establishes Quobly’s first international characterization platform outside Europe, marking a strategic milestone in its global hardware validation roadmap while reinforcing its long-term collaboration with Singapore’s quantum ecosystem.

Strengthening the France-Singapore quantum partnership

The collaboration also marks Quobly’s expansion into Singapore, following the company’s incorporation announcement during the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH 2025) held between 29th to 31st October 2025. Singapore offers a unique combination of deep-tech talent, progressive policies and access to regional markets, making it a strategic base for research partnerships with local institutions, semiconductor companies and innovation agencies.

Quobly’s new presence in Singapore further anchors its long-term commitment to develop industrial quantum technologies in Asia and to deepen collaboration across the region’s fast-growing semiconductor, research, and deep-tech ecosystems. As a next step, Quobly and NQO will explore opportunities to expand co-development in Singapore, including collaborations with other NQPs and quantum startups, as well as longer-term plans to work with semiconductor partners and the wider ecosystem to anchor more of Quobly’s manufacturing activities locally.
